After finishing “The Master and Margarita”, I started reading earlier this week “The Remains of the Day” by Kazuo Ishiguro. I wanted to start with Ishiguro a few months ago and I was kind of undecided between this and “Never Let Me Go”, which I nominated for the next bookclub.
I'm currently on page 70 and so far I'm enjoying it. The main character is an old Butler who's kind of of a sperg. His new american boss gives him a few days off and he goes on a roadtrip through the English countryside to visit the old Housekeeper who left the Manor 20 years before while revisiting his memories from the time she worked there.

based Ishiguro enjoyer, i read The Buried Giant recently and found it to be interesting and thought provoking. possibly as good as Never Let Me Go, which was a relief because i thought Klara and the Sun was a real stinker.
now i'm reading the first book of the Dagger and Coin series by Daniel Abraham, just picked it up off the shelf at the thrift store. i loved the Expanse series so i bet i'll like this too. about 150 pages in and pretty entertained so far. unfortunately there's currently 3-4 pov characters and one of them is just boring as heck but that's not uncommon for multi-pov genre fic ime.

Dagger and Coin series was fantastic, it does some interesting stuff with the setting if i recall correctly, and all of the character arcs felt very satisfying by the end
